follows:
The position into which we have been
forced iorbids us to remain silent or inactive
BY the voice of the State w. c. Il. I. we are
pledged to give our prayers aud influence to
the support OF party which we believe Is
hlnderlng our temperance work and which
we cannot in conscience and judgment APP
prove.
We therefore regretfully but conscientious
ly and OF necessity, withdraw from the So
clety we have so long loved and honOred and
in whose ranks we had hoped without sur
rendering our scli-respect, to still work on.
we shall not in consequence OF this with
drawal, falter in our allegiance to the NOBLE
cause of individual and national temperance
reform but in other lines and through diner
ent channels we purpose TO continue the
work.
Signed by Mrs Field, Mrs. Frank Plumley,
Miss Moore, Mrs. Edgerton, Mrs. Bradford and

An interesting case of habeas corpus was
heard at the court house in Hyde Park on
Friday and Saturday last before Hon. H.
II. Powers, between John Ladeau of New
Hampshire and Alma Gauthier Of Hyde
Park. 1t appeared that about eight years
since Mr.. Ladeau, whe was then IA widow
er, gave an infant girl to his wife's sister,
Miss Gauthier, with whom she remained
without seeing her father until a short
time ago. The father claimed that it was
understood that he should have the child
whenever he called for her; but the Judge
IN rendering his decision considered that
it was quite probable, under all the cir
cumstances, which appeared in evidence
that the child had been given away as
claimed by the defendant, and also that
it would be as we'll if not better for the
girl to remain where she now is. He ac-
cordingly dismissed the writ. p. X. Gleed

THE WALKER & HATCH FAILURE.
Meeting of the Creditors Monday New
Claims to the Amount of &IO.OOO.

The second and third meetings of the
creditors of the Walker d Hatch Lumber
and Manufacturing company were begun
Monday in the Court of Insolvency, at
the Probate Court rooms. 1t was sup
posed that nearly all the claims rs shown
by the list of creditors filed with their
petition had been presented, but it turns
out that the methods of business were
of that peculiar nature that notes of the
nsolvent firm which had not been heard
of before and which do not appear
on the books of the company had
been given to different parties by Mr..
Macomber, an explanation of which IS
anXiously awaited lay the creditors. The
dividend which was in prospect will be in
consequence somewhat reduced. The
treasurer of the corporation, Gilbert
Harris, was supposed to conduct the
money transactions of the corporation
and so far as those which he did conduct
are concerned the books show a record Of
them. Among the claims not appear
ing on the books or in the pc
tition as a claim against the es-
tate, which amount to about $4,000,
is a note for $1,000, presented by B. +. Har-
ris of Brushton, n Y, a brother of Treas
uer Harris. This is a joint and several
note gwen to Gilbert Harris by Walker,
Hatch and Macomber and is presented
by reason of an Endorsement by the insol-
vent corporation. This and the other
claims of which there is no record have
been suspended for hearing on December
l next. The business of the CORPORATION
seems to have been conducted without
regard to business methods and
their affairs are greatly involved.

ably disappointed as he supposed that he
was prepared to 90 on at once and declare

CuITTENDEN COUNTY COURT.
The Verdict Set Aside In the Case of q. NJ
Delaney VS.. the Estate of v. p. Noyes.


At the opening of the Court Thurs
day morning the court by Judge Tyler
rendered its decision on the motion to set
aside the verdict in the case of q. NJ. De
laney VS.. the estate of V. =. Noyes. The
motion was granted and the verdict set
aside upon the ground of the misconduct,
during the trial, of one of the jurors, S. A.
Thompson of Colchester The court found
from numerous ailidavits presented that
this juryman, III "a barber shop in this
city, and in the presence of number of
witnesses discussed the case, commented
on the testimony, criticised the ruling of
the court and announced mis- opinion as to
how the case ought to be decided and
what the verdict would he. Speaking
more particularly the court found that
Thompson said among other things,
there was no doubt that the jury would
agree and that Delaney would get his
money, and that 1t was pretty law that
would permit the lawyers on one side to
show that man had been sent to prison
and not let the other side show how he
came to go and how he got out
The testimony was discussed in other par
ticulars and the expressions of the juror
were such as to lead the court to the con
clusion that the juror was biased, pre-
JUDGED and unfair, so that although
